One of the 002s I got out of TX a few weeks back has a tank that is thoroughly rusted on the interior (the set seems to be triple rinsed 3+ years ago, based on verbiage spray painted onto it). Good going guys! So I was in the midst of taking the tank off the other unit I have, to see if I can...

The quick synopsis... been dealing with a potential buyer of a machine of mine locally. He decided to look elsewhere, and informed me that he bought a unit for $1k (Reset, 400 hours), which is substantially less than the mint 803 I am offering. Tis OK, part of the dance. I have tried to be as...

Got an 802 that is stumbling for fuel (pumps seem to work OK.. havent swapped filter yet). New filter will be in shortly... but I figured it might not hurt to see if there is a high test additive I can put in the tank to see about cleaning up any potential residue in the lines. Thanks

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-31/front-month-rbob-tops-2-after-colonial-pipeline-shutdown In light of the events in Houston... those who have been putting off refilling their tanks, or who do not currently have adequate fuel stores as-is... you should start ASAP. Diesel stopped flowing...

One of the machines I just received, the tank looks like **** on the inside. I am assuming I can use some sort of 'aggregate' with liquid and remove it from the machine and simply shake the **** out of it. Anyone have a better idea? Does CLR chew through the crap that deposits in these tanks? It...

Testing one of my new arrivals... fluids done, batteries installed... figure out which fuel pumps work and which dont. So I can get fuel all the way up to the last fitting I can reach on the fuel line, just outside of the IP. Fuel is being returned to the tank... but I'm not getting any in the...

Best I am finding online are some Exide batteries at Tractor supply for about $90/ea with core. Edit: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/exide-classic-auto-truck-suv-battery-51rc

Ran the 002A for about two hours earlier (haven't put the new oil pressure switch in... was planning that later today) to charge up the batteries a bit. Was holding a 30-50% load the whole time, and I started to turn off the items in the house. It was down to minimal draw when I sat down, put my...

Exactly how difficult is the removal on these things? I don't know if mine are working or not, but I have multiple sets of each for my 002, and was considering just putting new ones in because I can. Wicked cold snap is due tonight (-20 with wind chill and 60mph gusts).. so doubtful its...

So I finally got some time this morning to wire up my second fuel pump (Aux in) and everything works great. I am probably going to have to adjust the float position in the tank at some point when I am REALLY bored (it filled to a little over 3/4 before stopping)... but I am just happy that...

So finally got around to playing with my 802a yesterday. It seems the unit is getting fuel during the 'priming' stage, but once running... she runs dry about 30 seconds later. I can hear the pump running on both Prime + Run as well as Aux + Run... but is there a separate circuit for keeping the...

Any initial thoughts on where to start the hunt? The unit is about 50% full right now. The needle is below E, but does bounce up and down slightly as the unit is running.

Got my new Facet pumps in, and Im having a heck of a time getting the right angle brass fittings off the inlet and outlet. I want to just buy some new units to put on... what exactly am I looking for? I know the thread dimension on the end that goes onto the pump... but what should I be...

So the cable on my 2010 has never worked quite right. I was running it over the past weekend, and it seems I have lost hertz control through it (felt a spring or something twang in my hand, while turning... and no more hertz movement after that). It has always been resistant to locking at the...

What am I doing wrong? Says capacity on the 803a for the cooling system should be 8.2 quarts. Seems I can only get about 5 in. Is there a special trick to burping these systems? I figure I have air locked up somewhere in it. Temp gauge is reading about 200 after 20 minutes of running... so it...

Have a low hours 97 803A that was put in storage back in 02. In reading through the documents, they flushed the cooling system with oil as part of their procedure. It calls out that they sealed every opening (and warn to remove cover from air filter as part of getting it operational again), and...

Are these access door panels available for purchase separately? How about just the twisting lock assemblies? The part I am looking for is the right hand door (if you are standing at the operator panel). Just got another 803a in, and the upper lock assembly was broken in transit by the...

Got an 85 Hollingsworth 002A that Letterkenney got a hold of back in 2007. It has only 7 hours on it now. Was playing around with it for the first time yesterday... fresh fuel and new filters. It appears they disconnected the electric fuel pumps (I believe that's what these are). Images...

Hi All. Just picked up a 2010 803A (8 hours), and an 85 002A (2007-Tier 2'd with 7 hours listed). Neither run... but I shall tackle each individually. On the 803A, the batteries are refreshed red tops that came with the machine (each measure at about 12.5v). I have absolutely no power, relay...
